SAD claims Majithia a victim of political vendetta, after he gets bail in DA case

The Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) on Monday (February 2, 2026) welcomed the bail granted to senior leader Bikram Singh Majithia in a disproportionate assets case by the Supreme Court, even as it claimed that the Akali leader had been a victim of political vendetta all along.

Senior SAD leaders Daljit Singh Cheema and Arshdeep Singh Kler alleged the State government had concocted a false disproportionate assets case against Mr. Majithia.

“It was now clear that after the AAP government failed to present a ‘challan’ in the false narcotics case registered against the Akali leader and when its special leave petition against the bail granted to Mr. Majithia in the case was dismissed by the Supreme court, it decided to embroil the Akali leader in a false disproportionate assets case. This case will eventually also meet the same end as the false narcotics case registered against Mr Majithia”, they said.

The leaders alleged the AAP government had proceeded against Mr. Majithia in a desperate bid to silence him as he had consistently condemned the wrong policies of the government besides speaking up for the rights of the people.

Mr. Majithia was arrested on June 25, 2015 by Punjab Vigilance Bureau for allegedly laundering over ₹540 crores of drug money through different channels.
